It's called the legislative branch? You know the other of the 2 branches? Should be a constitutional exam requirement to vote.
RedZin was clearly referring to the electoral college and how Trump won.
48 of 50 states have winner take all.
Maine and Nebraska have their 2 and 3, respectively, congressional districts award 1 electoral vote each. With the statewide popular vote getting the 2 electoral votes from the US Senators.
Clearly, gerrymandering had nothing to do with Trump winning the electoral college.
Instead of RedZin mocking Trump voters as "lacking education" he/she should get an education.
Yeah, you people can't win state elections either....now you want to take redistricting away from the states.
Big ****ing surprise!
There is no way to do redistricting that will make everyone happy. Like it is in every state the party in charge of the legislature makes the decisions.

But you don't know that, you absolutely don't know that, you can only speculate. You are totally speaking with your heart in this. At the rate of this weekly drama, Americans of all stripes are going to be sick and tired and burn out of all this mess. He have done nothing to expand his party, he speaks mostly to his base.
People are loving the drama....Trump hasn't lost one voter since the election.
[quote=Bureaucat;48943523]Very interesting poll from Gallup that breaks down Trump approval by state.
1. Those (17) states where Trump is at 50% or above in job approval: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. These are all rockribbed Republican states and Trump carried all of them in 2016.
2. Those (17) states where Trump below 40% in job approval: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. These are all solid Democratic states carried by Clinton in 2016.
3. Those (14) states where Trump job approval is over 40% but less than 50%: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin. These were in general the battlegrounds in 2016, with the exception of a few states that were carried fairly easily by Trunp, but have large minority populations.
Why do the ppl in poor states like West Virginia who depend on Medicaid/ACA handouts lean so heavily in favor of Trump? Even their Senators Manchin and Caputo are voting against ACA repeal because they claim that their constituents would be butt hurt if ACA were to be repealed.
this should be no surprise as the pro Trump states tend to be people of Faith instead of fact. I believe this led them to support Trump instead of listing to Ms. Clinton.
FWIW - I am a "Nam Vet with very little faith in humanity let alone politicians. The first are mostly irrational and the latter are ego driven thieves.

" tend to be people of Faith instead of fact"
What "fact" are you claiming?
"I am a "Nam Vet"
I did 2 TOURS in Nam and am 180 degrees in disagreement with you.
That's what I always believed as well. Trump could never relate to them on a personal level because he never been there in his life, he would never be able to feel and understand it from their shoes. How could they believe that a billionaire was going to save them and save the world, with absolutely zero experience and knowledge of the game of Washington. Running Washington is a whole different animal than being a CEO of your own private company, it's no place for the novice.
You make a lot of ignorant claims.
Do you personally KNOW Trump?
Do you personally NOW ANYBODY who knows Trump?
Ii doubt it.
Those that DO say say just the OPPOSITE of what ypu claim.
ALL your post is partisan drivel based on NOT ONE SINGLE FACT.
